How to get SEO juice from a widget iframe?
-
Looking at building a widget for my site, Babyhuddle. We're looking at using iframes for the widget and I'm concerned that this means I won't be able to get any SEO juice out of each widgets that are implemented on users' blogs. Any recommendations on how we can get SEO juice out of widgets in iframes?

Here's some more info on Iframes and Google from Barry Schwartz http://www.seroundtable.com/google-iframe-link-14558.html

e.g.
<iframe src="widget.htm"></iframe>

Yer just code it so a html link sites outsite

I see. Have you thought about using canonical URL?
-
No we're definitely up to alternative ideas. I'll have a look at DotMailer.
-
What I did is include a line in the embed code that follows the widget with "provided by a href=...". Sure, some people take the link out but most use it. Anything that you link to from within the iframe will look like an internal link to Google so it likely won't help much for SEO purposes

Is the iFrame definitely the way you want to go with this or are you open to alternative ideas?
DotMailer provide a widget for users to embed a newsletter sign up form on their website. Beneath the widget there is a link pointing back to dotmailer. This doesn't use an iFrame. Maybe look into this.

Do Sitespect links get indexed?
I put a link on one of my websites using sitespect because the next release is not for a few weeks. The reason for the link is to pass domain authority (SEO Juice) to the linked site. In my next release I will add the link in the actual code, but am hoping that from now till then google will crawl and index this link. So the question is, will google crawl and index links adding to webpages via sitespect? Here is the code: | * [http://www.](<a class=)yourdomain.com" class="" >YourDomain |

Querystring params, rel canonical and SEO
I know ideally you should have as clean as possible url structures for optimal SEO. Our current site contains clean urls with very minimal use of query string params. There is a strong push, for business purposes to include click tracking on our site which will append a query string param to a large percentage of our internal links. Currently: http://www.oursite.com/section/content/ Will change to: http://www.oursite.com/section/content/?tg=zzzzwww We currently use rel canonical on all pages to properly define the true url in order to remove any possible duplicate content issues. Given we are already using rel canonical, if we implement the query string click tracking, will this negatively impact our SEO? If so, by how much? Could we run into duplicate content issues? We get crawled by Google a lot (very big site) and very large percent of our traffic is from Google, but there is a strong business need for this information so trying to weigh pros/cons.
